Season/Episode info

Aardvark · Post by **Aardvark** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 13:10

Given that IceTV provides Season/Episode info in the format SnnEnn is it possible to get this added to Beyonwiz file names to assist with cataloguing TV Series?

Not easily, though it may be possible in the future. That information is not currently stored in the Beyonwiz EPG, though it is in the IceTV EPG. Neither is it included in timers sent from IceTV to the Beyonwiz.

OK thanks for the info

Ask IceTV to implement a feature to add the season and episode to the title. That would be a win on all devices for all customers.

Aardvark · Post by **Aardvark** » Tue Dec 15, 2020 10:54

Hi Prl,
I'll do that. Any particular delimiter required between Title SnnEnn ? (I notice in general it appears to be full stop)

prl · Post by **prl** » Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:07

IMO, if that change does get made on the IceTV server side, it should be in the program subtitle, not the title. However, the subtitle only appears in recording names if the "Composition of recording filenames" setting in MENU>Setup>TV>Recording settings is set to "Long filenames".

Adding it (no matter where it is added) should also be optional, as for adding the '[R]' tag on repeated program names.

The syntax of the episode tag could be something like SnEm, and should preferably not contain any characters not permitted in FAT extended filenames.

There is a better and more general way of dealing with currently unused IceTV metadata, but I haven't had time to look at it properly. IMO adding tags like this on the IceTV server side is a horrible hack.

Aardvark · Post by **Aardvark** » Tue Dec 15, 2020 14:55

Hi Prl,
If you reckon doing it server side is just a hack then I'd rather leave it until it can be done properly, I can see that there's a lot more in the thread titled "Is it possible to get more info from Ice EPG on shows?".

Usually Season/Episode number is appended to the Title eg Doctor Who.S01E01 and then you can use something like tinyMediaManager which will grab Images, Cast, Synopsis etc from IMDB or TVDB which all gets picked up when using something like Plex or Emby.

I pull quite a few series off the V2 as I will be the only one to watch them and having the Season/Episode would make the post-processing really easy.

Thanks, Mike

What I hope to do should make most of the currently available metadata in the IceTV available in the Beyonwiz EPG, where developers can access it to do things like selectively add data like credits (actors/director), original language, season/episode number, country of origin, video quality (aspect ratio, colour / B/W, HD/SD), user rating (if IceTV ever gets around to publishing it), poster image and repeat flag (and when last shown).

The internal format of the EPG follows the broadcast standard, and there aren't specific places to put data like that in the Beyonwiz EPG. But there is a mechanism inside the data format for the extended description for a show that allows for general tagged text to be added, and that's where I intend to try putting the extra metadata.

Would any of that assist with getting the information into the filename though?

I imagine that Aardvark is interested in having that so that the episodes can be more easily scraped by other software or media players (Kodi, Plex etc..)

Yes, once it's available in the EPG, it can be looked up when a timer creates the filename for the recording (the code already does a lookup of the recording in order to set the description in the timer). It won't be automatic as it would be if the (say) title had it appended at the server end, as in Aardvark's suggested format (though it would need to go in the timer title when a timer is sent and not (just?) in the EPG).

However, if it's done via my proposed mechanism, it could become an option to MENU>Setup>TV>Recording settings>Composition of recording filenames, and the season/episode information need not appear anywhere other than in the filenames.

Hi Mike

That change would cause problems for people using Autotimers, or require them to edit them all if they don't have the search set to begins with. And that is only one option in the search and match patterns in Autotimers.

Much better for it to be in the extended description as prl says.

adoxa · Post by **adoxa** » Tue Dec 15, 2020 18:45

I can add an option to IceTVDesc to put the season/episode numbers in the subtitle/short description: "Episode Title" -> "Episode Title (S01E02)". If you then use the long name recording format you'll have it with that. If you don't want the long name I could add another option to append it to the title (for the recording name), instead: "Show Title" -> "Show Title.S01E02" (extracted from the subtitle, so you'd still need that).

Likely there won't be many IceTV users that are using AutoTimers to any great degree.
Search types of "title starts with", "description match", and "partial match" won't be affected.

Therefore I believe this change would have very little impact.

All true but a solution that avoids that issue would help with anyone wanting switch between Autotimers and IceTV.

I can't see how you would achieve that "switch" ability and not have any impact to AutoTimers at all, given the request is for the extra detail to be in the title.
"Let the IceTV AutoTimer users eat cake!".

adoxa's updated IceTVDesc idea sounds good to me.

Shouldn't be a problem to normalise it, if you prefer one over the other (another option? Or two: enable normalise, choose character). I should also be able to detect it and avoid adding the bracketed version.

Personally, I don't need the "normalising" option, but detecting the existence of "series" and "episode" in the subtitle/episode title and then not appending (SnnEnn) is something of value.
But if (SnnEnn) is not in the short description, does that mean it won't be appended to the file name?

paullings · Post by **paullings** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 13:45

I would prefer Option 2 which gives people a choice. My preferred option is SnnEnn (without brackets) for either long or short filename.
By the way what is the difference between standard filename and long filename if any.

Aardvark · Post by **Aardvark** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 15:08

I've just loaded this up and it's looking good so far. When appending to the filename it needs to be in the format .SnnEnn as this seems to be the convention that most information scrapers expect

The file name would always be SnnEnn, the new option is intended to convert subtitles of the form "Season S, Episode E" to "Season S: Episode E" or vice versa.

I did use dot, but it got replaced with underscore later. There's no need for dot to be replaced (file names already use multiple dots), so I might remove it from the list of invalid characters.

The season/episode numbers shouldn't normally need to be scraped out of the long description: there are distinct show fields "season" and "episode-num".

Note that the season isn't always in the range 0..99: it is sometimes the year, for example:
S2019E04 Just For Laughs
S2020E16 Basketball: WNBL - Woman's National Basketball League
S2020E228 The Drum

I see in Grumpy_Geoff's examples, there's one show that has no explicit season/episode number data, but has the information in the subtitle: The Cook's Pantry with Matt Sinclair.

It's not alone. Here are some other shows that are in the same state:
Mister Maker
Outback Truckers
Horrible Histories
The Cook's Pantry With Matt Sinclair
Poh & Co. Bitesize

They have a bit of a variety of Season/Series formats to scrape:
Series 3: Episode 15

Series 3, Episode 18
Season 2, Episode 11

I missed the Ready Steady Cook example, because it's not one that needs screenscraping, because it has explicit season/episode-num metadata, though that doesn't agree with what's in the subtitle:

The subtitle contains season/episode info, so the short form is not appended, so the numbers are extracted directly from the subtitle, so that's S18/19E34, which is converted to S18_19E34.

For long names you'd also get - Episode Title, where I could temporarily remove the short form from the description, or use the short form if the description is using words.

Likely because no Season/Episode details were provided in the EPG data, just the subtitle/short description.

That's correct. There's no season/episode-num metadata for Horrible Histories (at least in the current EPG):
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 1
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 2
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 3
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 4
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 5
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 6
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 7
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 8
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 9
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 10
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 11
No episode info: Horrible Histories:: Series 3, Episode 13
(title:: short description format)

Using 1.0.6.4, this one didn't get the Sn/En filename annotation -
Likely because no Season/Episode details were provided in the EPG data, just the subtitle/short description.

Should be extracting it directly from the description:

Code: Select all

>>> n = re.match(r"(?:Series|Season) ([\d/]+) *. *Episode (\d+)$", "Series 3, Episode 2")
>>> n.group(1)
'3'
>>> n.group(2)
'2'
>>>

Peter's message suggests I need to detect leading spaces, but Geoff's does not (stripped out separately before display?).

Sorry, that was a typo in my description of the "No episode" format. There are no leading spaces in those examples I posted: the space after the :: is part of the print format string. I've corrected the post.

But anyway, I'd be tending towards using re.search() rather than re.match() to catch things like:
No episode info: <Poh & Co.> <Bitesize: Series 2, Episode 6>
Format now "<title> <subtitle>".

Then whether there are leading spaces or not becomes moot.

I'd also be inclined to put " +" between the Season/Series/Episode strings and the number match rather than just a single space.

I did some basic tests this time, so let's see how this one goes.

I've replaced the dot separator with " - ". The long name will remove season/episode info from the description (if the description then becomes empty it will become the short form and the name is left alone). It checks for the words at the end of the description. Thus, with long names, you should have:

Code: Select all

Morocco Fusion (S01E23) -> ... - S01E23 - Morocco Fusion.ts
Series 3, Episode 2 -> ... - S03E02.ts
Bitesize: Series 2, Episode 6 -> ... - S02E06 - Bitesize.ts
